Our physical plant consists of 45 permanent classrooms, ten portable classrooms, a parent center, a cafeteria/ multipurpose room, a spectacular library, three computer labs, an air-conditioned gymnasium, large athletic field, and administrative offices. We use these superb facilities to provide our students with the very best educational experience in Southern California. Jehue offers specialized educational programs in Gifted and Talented Education (GATE), English Language Development (ELD), Special Education, and Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID). We value and encourage parent/ community involvement through our School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), Band Boosters, and Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA). All our educators pride themselves on providing their students rigorous, standards-based instruction in all academic areas, while offering every student access to divergent educational experiences in the arts and music, careertechnical education, and athletics. Doing all of these things allows us to live up to our motto: Giving our best, never settling for less. Community & School Profile Nestled below the San Bernardino Mountains, the City of Rialto lies in the west portion of the San Bernardino Valley. Rialto is fifty miles to the east of Los Angeles and 100 miles north of San Diego. Rialto Unified School District served 26,764 students in grades kindergarten through twelve during the 2012-13 school year. Comprised of 19 elementary schools, five middle schools, three traditional high schools, one alternative high school, one continuation high school, and a community day school, the district offers instruction on both traditional and year-round schedules. 1 Published: January 2014 Located in the northwestern quadrant of Colton, Jehue Middle School operates on a traditional calendar schedule. The school served 1,568 sixth through eighth grade students during the 2012-13 school year. The student demographics are illustrated in the chart. Students have access to the following activities, clubs, and programs: Anime Club, Jehue Drum Line, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, Flag Football, Track, Field, Cheerleading, Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) Book Fair, Associated Student Body (ASB), Family Math, Literacy Nights, Family Science Nights. Enrollment by Student Group Homework 2012-13 Homework is a fundamental part of the learning process that helps to develop academic and study skills, as well as promote student responsibility and self-discipline. Homework is assigned daily for all grade levels and major subject areas. Each teacher determines the appropriate level of homework for his or her students. Students are expected to complete their homework assignments in a timely manner and to the best of their ability. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to provide a supportive environment for homework activities and to review homework assignments with their child.

The chart shows the average class size by grade level, as well as the number of classes offered in reference to their enrollment. Class Size Distribution Classrooms Containing: Average Class Size Discipline & Climate for Learning The goal of Jehue Middle School’s progressive discipline program is to provide students with opportunities to learn self-discipline through a system of consistent rewards and consequences for their behavior. The school-wide discipline plan, which reflects the district’s behavior code, is implemented in a consistent and positive manner. Well-managed classrooms, and clearly defined expectations and consequences have resulted in an environment where learning flourishes. Parents/Guardians and students are informed of discipline policies at the beginning of each school year through mass mailings, Back-to-School Night, and the Parent/ Guardian Information Brochure. Rules are reinforced at assemblies and within each classroom.

Parents/Guardians are advised of their responsibilities, including proper notification of when and why students are absent. The school staff makes daily phone calls to parents/guardians when children are absent. When a student has repeated tardies or unexcused absences a letter is mailed home, and a parent/guardian conference may be scheduled. In the event of habitual truancy, students may be referred to the District’s School Attendance Review Board (SARB). The SARB is utilized when students have persistent Enrollment Trend by Grade Level attendance and behavior problems in school, and when the 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 normal avenues of classroom, 6th 449 531 469 school, and district counseling are not effective. The chart 7th 490 512 532 illustrates the trend in enrollment 8th 481 522 512 at the school over the past three years. Student Recognition Positive recognition creates a learning environment that fosters respect for the individual and promotes self-esteem. In addition to classroom prizes and verbal praise, the following awards and recognition programs are ongoing at Jehue Middle School: Academic Achievement Awards; Perfect Attendance Awards; Honor Roll, Quarterly; Students-of-the-Month; California Standards Test (CST) Proficiency and Growth Recognition; Sports Recognition Pep Rallys. Extracurricular & Enrichment Activities School Leadership Students are encouraged to participate in academic and extracurricular activities, which are an integral part of the educational program. William G. Jehue Middle School 11 School districts receive financial support from the state for the education of the students they serve based on how many students attend each day. Most importantly, attendance is critical to academic achievement. Student attendance is carefully monitored to identify those students exhibiting excessive absences. 12-13 36.0% 13 School Enrollment & Attendance District 12-13 12 33+ Students By Subject Area Suspensions & Expulsions School 11 21-32 Students By Grade Level The suspensions and expulsions table illustrates total cases for the school and District for all grade levels, as well as the percentage of total enrollment. Suspensions are expressed in terms of total infractions, not total number of students, as some students may have been suspended on several occasions. Expulsions occur only when required by law or when all other alternatives are exhausted. 10-11 1-20 Students Leadership at Jehue Middle School is a responsibility shared among District administration, the principal, instructional staff, students, and parents/guardians. 2 Published: January 2014 Primary leadership duties at the school have been assumed by Principal Armando Urteaga. Prior to this position, Mr. Urteaga has served as Dean of Students and Assistant Principal at the middle school and high school levels. He is currently in his 15th year as a school administrator. Previously to this, Mr. Urteaga was a middle school teacher. Students are tested for the GATE Program at the beginning and the middle of the year, however teachers can recommend a student to the program at any time during the school year. Staff members are encouraged to participate on various committees that make decisions regarding the priorities and direction of the educational plan. These teams ensure that instructional programs are consistent with students’ needs and comply with district goals. Avenues of opportunity include: Students with special education needs are accommodated with a variety of options and in the least restrictive environment possible. An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed for any student with emotional, social, and/or developmental disabilities. The IEP defines the individualized instruction a special needs student will receive, which may include placement in a Special Day Class, the Resource Specialist Program, and/ or sessions with other members of the support staff. Special Education • School Site Council • English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) • PTSA Parent & Community Involvement Counseling & Support Staff (School Year 2012-13) Parents/Guardians and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Jehue Middle School. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to become involved in their child’s education by volunteering at the school, participating in school activities, and joining school committees and councils. In addition to academics, the staff strives to assist students in their social and personal development. Staff members are trained to recognize at-risk behavior in all students. The school values the importance of on-site counseling and has procedures in place to ensure that students receive the services they need. Staff members are devoted to helping students deal with problems and assisting them to reach positive goals. The counselorto-pupil ratio is 1:523. The chart displays a list of support services that are offered to students. Parents/Guardians are asked to attend parent/guardian-teacher conferences and student/teacher success meetings as they are scheduled. Jehue Middle School also hosts workshops that help parents/guardians learn about school operations and how to assist in student success.

Evaluations and formal observations are designed to encourage common goals and to comply with the state’s evaluation criteria and district policies. Temporary and probationary teachers are evaluated twice a year and tenured teachers are evaluated every other year. Evaluations are conducted by the principal, who has been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluations are based on the “California Standards for the Teaching Profession,” which include the following: Engaging and Supporting all Students in Learning; Understanding and Organizing Subject Matter for Student Learning; Assessing Student Learning; Creating and Maintaining Effective Environments for Student Learning; Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for all Students; and Developing as a Professional Educator. Due to the state fiscal crisis, additional funding from the State of California that would provide an opportunity to offer district-wide professional development through “Buy Back Days” has not been available for the past three years. Rialto Unified School District (RUSD) has worked within the state fiscal crisis to provide an alternative plan of action for staff development, and has established a comprehensive District-wide Professional Development Center (PDC). The PDC provides ongoing staff development in a variety of formats throughout the school year (i.e. after school, on-site, weekends, and during instructional breaks). In addition to the PDC, teachers have access to online materials as another alternative professional development format. Finally, with district and union collaboration, early release/collaboration days have been established at secondary schools to support RUSD’s commitment to on-going professional development. At-Risk Interventions Students who score “Below Basic” in English/Language Arts on standardized tests are served through the Language! Intervention Program throughout the school day. Math/English tutoring is also provided on an “as-needed” basis. For additional support in their profession, teachers may enlist the services of the District’s Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) support provider and/or the Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) Program. English Learners (EL) English Learner (EL) students designated as “Beginning,” “EarlyIntermediate,” and “Intermediate” are assigned to appropriately credentialed teachers and offered a Structured English Immersion Program. English Language Development (ELD) instructors, instructional aides, and English language support teachers provide additional assistance within these classrooms. “Early-Advanced” and “Advanced” EL students are placed within mainstream classrooms. Teacher Assignment Rialto Unified School District recruits and employs only the most qualified credentialed teachers. Teacher Credential Status School Gifted & Talented Education (GATE) The Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Program is offered to students in grades six through eight who have been identified through testing and teacher recommendation. Jehue’s GATE students are offered an accelerated academic program that provides in-depth and rigorous coursework. William G.

Note: “Misassignments” refers to the number of positions filled by teachers who lack legal authorization to teach that grade level, subject area, student group, etc. Misassignments/Vacancies Teacher vacancies reflect the number of positions to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of the year for an entire year. 11-12 12-13 13-14 Misassignments of Teachers of English Learners 0 0 0 Misassignments of Teachers (other) 0 0 0 Total Misassignments of Teachers 0 0 0 Vacant Teacher Positions 0 0 0 Highly Qualified Teachers (School Year 2012-13) NCLB Compliant Teachers The Federal No Child Left Behind Act requires that all teachers in core subject areas meet certain requirements in order to be considered as “Highly Qualified” no later than the end of the 2006-07 school year. Minimum qualifications include: Possession of a Bachelor’s Degree, Possession of an appropriate California teaching credential, Demonstrated competence in core academic subjects. For more information, see the CDE Improving Teacher and Principal Quality Web page at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/nclb/sr/tq/. Note: High-poverty schools have student eligibility of approximately 40 percent or more in the free and reduced price meals program. Low-poverty schools have student eligibility of approximately 25 percent or less.

In addition to the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, teachers utilize district Benchmark Assessments, classroom observations, class work, homework, report cards, and Renaissance Learning Solutions reports to determine whether each student is performing below, at, or above grade level standards. English Learner (EL) students take the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) every year until they have been re-classified as “English proficient.” Some learning-disabled students take the California Alternative Performance Assessment (CAPA) in lieu of the California Standards Test (CST). Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) (School Year 2012-13) No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for mathematics and English/language arts (ELA) by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and mathematics. School District • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments Made AYP Overall No No in ELA and mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. English English • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). Met AYP Criteria Language Mathematics Language Mathematics Arts Arts There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the Yes Yes Yes Yes AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Participation Rate Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their Percent Proficient No No No No district) that have met their AYP, and the former school would be Yes No required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of API School Results school and district performance are displayed in the table. Graduation Rate N/A Yes Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including the California Standards Test (CST), California Modified Assessment (CMA) and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). CST description and scores are reported in detail within the SARC. The CMA is an alternate assessment based on modified achievement standards in English/language arts (ELA) for grades three through eleven; mathematics for grades three through seven, Algebra I and Geometry; and science in grades five and eight, Life Science in grade ten. This test is designed to assess students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade level proficiency of the California content standards with or without accommodations. CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. Assessment covers ELA and mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. William G. Jehue Middle School 4 Published: January 2014 California Standards Test (CST) The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The first table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) in English/ language arts, mathematics, social science, and science, for the most recent three-year period. The second table displays the percent of students, by group, achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) for the most recent testing period. For detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, see the CDE STAR Results Web site at http://star. cde.ca.gov.

Percentage of Students in Healthy Fitness Zone Physical Fitness (School Year 2012-13) In the spring of each year, the school is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all seventh grade students. The physical fitness test measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas: Aerobic Capacity, Body Composition, Abdominal Strength, Trunk Extension Strength, Upper Body Strength, and Flexibility. Students who either meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the “healthy fitness zone” (HFZ). 2012-13 Grade Level Four of Six Standards Five of Six Standards Six of Six Standards 7 21.8% 18.7% 26.9% *Scores are not disclosed when fewer than 10 students are tested in a grade level and/or subgroup. Federal Intervention Programs Federal Intervention Program (School Year 2012-13) School Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. For detailed information about PI identification, see the CDE PI Status Determinations Web page: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp. William G.

The district’s Board of Education has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. Basic cleaning operations are performed on a daily basis throughout the school year with emphasis on classrooms and restrooms. A joint effort between students and staff helps keep the campus clean and litter-free. The principal works daily with the school’s custodial staff to develop sanitation schedules that ensure a clean, safe, and functional learning environment. Maintenance & Repair A scheduled maintenance program is administered by the school’s custodial staff on a regular basis, with heavy maintenance functions occurring during vacation periods. Additionally, a scheduled maintenance program is administered by Rialto Unified School District to ensure that school grounds and facilities remain in excellent repair. A work order process is used when issues arise that require immediate attention. Emergency repairs are given the highest priority; repair requests are completed efficiently and in the order in which they are received. William G.
